"High Fidelity," "About A Boy," "An Education" -- it's quite an impressive film resume for novelist Nick Hornby (we'll politely overlook both versions of "Fever Pitch"; they're not that great) but it appears he has a new muse.The Daily Mail reports that Nick Hornby is writing an original comedy script, not based on any of his books, with a part in mind for Rosamund Pike. Pike was part of the cast of the Carey Mulligan career-maker "An Education," and we presume he was taken by her turn as the willfully ignorant girlfriend of the shady art dealer played by Dominic Cooper. Of course, since its still a script stage, there's no director or studio attached and the project is probably more than a year off. It's an exciting prospect nonetheless.
As for Pike, she has a number of films hitting the big screen in the next little while including the women's rights drama "Made In Dagenham," the Mordecai Richler film adaptation of "Barney's Version" and the comedy "The Big Year" with Owen Wilson, Jack Black and Steve Martin.
